I have a 2GB pen drive which is showing approximately 1GB bad sectors. I haven't manhandled the drive at all and it is almost new so it seems that these are logical bad sectors. I tried recovery through windows xp but that did not help. Kindly help me on this.. any tool that may be useful? Please help
 
If it's still within the return/exchange period, I'd start with that.

If not, pull up the command prompt and type:
Code: 
chkdsk X: /p /r

where X is the letter of the USB drive.
 
you could try formatting the pen (if B's suggestion doesn't work) try formatting it in XP or use something like this

BTW: formatting the pen device will destroy all data from the pen
